Heavy metal (Pb, Ni, Cd) elimination from water and wastewater using an antibacterial modified cellulose filter paper as an efficient filtration membrane technology: A portable fil... by Milad Kazemnejadi

“…Investigating the adsorption mechanism by high resolution XPS analyzes showed that the adsorption was done both through coordination with Schiff base ligands and through non-bonding electron pairs of N and O atoms on the surface of filter paper. Tests on shrinkage and swellability confirmed that the filter paper maintains its quality through multiple wetting and drying cycles, allowing for repeated use, wherein 0.9 mg/L and 0.4 cm changes in swellability and shrinkage was observed after five consecutive cycles. …”
